In October, a new owner purchased Broadway Square, which houses six businesses, including MD Bagel Fragel, for $3.5 million, according to city records.

The new owner could not be reached for comment.

Patricia Rockette, who has owned MD Bagel Fragel since 2007, said the shop was not given an opportunity to renew its lease, and they were originally asked to be moved out by the end of November.

The new landlord on Tuesday gave MD Bagel Fragel an extension, and now they have until Dec. 30 to move out, Rockette said. Their last day serving customers at that location will likely be Dec. 20, she said.

Rockette wasn't sure what prompted the extension, but loyal customers over the past couple of days have coordinated a social media campaign urging people to contact the new landlord and express support for MD Bagel Fragel.

"Their support has been overwhelming," Rockette said. "We had no idea we would get that much response."

The shop closed early Tuesday because it sold out of bagels. Customers offered their condolences to staff while waiting in line Tuesday and offered suggestions for finding a way to keep the business open.

Rockette hopes to find another place on Ann Arbor's north side to move MD Bagel Fragel. The shop employs four people.

"We're obviously devastated," she said of the forced move. "Why would you close a business that's going great?"

Wings Over Ann Arbor, formerly located next door to MD Bagel Fragel at 1758 Plymouth Road, is permanently closed after shutting down at the start of the summer, and Nagomi Sushi, 1754 Plymouth Road, has plans to expand into that space.

Nick Ma, owner of Nagomi Sushi, said he's been talking about expanding the restaurant for years, and he already had an agreement to take over the former Wings Over Ann Arbor space before the new owners bought Broadway Plaza and ended Bagel Fragel's lease.

"I know Bagel Fragel is in a tough situation," Ma said. "I feel bad just knowing what happened to them."

Managers at Marco's Pizza and Northside Liquor said Tuesday they have not yet heard whether Broadway Square's new ownership will affect their businesses. Staff at the AAA Insurance office at the end of the strip mall declined to comment.

Cooper, who works at Marco's Pizza in Broadway Square, said the pizzeria employees will miss the Rockette family.

An Ann Arbor native, Cooper said she is concerned about the number of local businesses closing recently.
